Chapter 47: Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils
After dealing with these minor pests, Xiao Tian patted Qing Lin's head and smiled, "With me by your side from now on, you don't need to fear anyone!"
Perhaps due to similar experiences in the Xiao Family before, Xiao Tian felt a special sympathy for Qing Lin, which was why he comforted her like this.
Hearing this, Qing Lin's heart warmed, and she nodded heavily, saying, "Mhm, Qing Lin isn't afraid!"
Xiao Tian smiled faintly, then raised the Zi Wu Qi Xing Sword in his hand, preparing to cleave open a path to the underground.
However, just then, Qing Lin suddenly spoke, "Young Master Xiao Tian, I think I can sense the path to the underground!"
As she spoke, Qing Lin pulled Xiao Tian and they dashed off in another direction in the desert.
In less than a moment, the two arrived at a steep area.
Hesitating for a moment, Xiao Tian grabbed Qing Lin and jumped directly down.
It was a hidden cave, very difficult to detect.
At this moment, Xiao Tian noticed that the three small jade-green dots in Qing Lin's beautiful eyes had reappeared, astonishing him greatly.
"Young Master Xiao Tian, follow me!"
Then, following the scent, Qing Lin pulled Xiao Tian and took the lead. Not long after, they appeared in a lava area.
Gazing at the lava not far ahead, Qing Lin frowned, then suddenly bit her lip and said, "Young Master Xiao Tian, there seems to be something very powerful inside this lava. It seems to be the aura I sensed!"
Xiao Tian was stunned by her words and immediately asked, "Are you sure?"
Qing Lin nodded affirmatively, "Mhm, I'm very sure! And…" At this point, Qing Lin's expression turned solemn, "If my guess is correct, that fellow's strength is probably above Dou Spirit!"
Dou Spirit, huh?
Xiao Tian touched his nose. He didn't need to pay any attention to beings at the Dou Spirit level.
Crack!!
Just then, as if hearing a sound from nearby, the lava suddenly showed signs of surging.
Subsequently, a mysterious creature let out a strange roar and charged straight into the sky.
This creature was extremely ugly, covered all over with dark red markings. It had two curved, sharp horns on its head and its mouth was agape like a blood basin, looking extremely ferocious and bone-chilling.
Its speed was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it leaped out of the lava and hovered in mid-air, indifferently looking down at Xiao Tian and Qing Lin.
Not only that, but the lava seemed to be manipulated by some power, converging towards this creature, ultimately forming a solid armor of fiery lava.
Xiao Tian glanced indifferently at the ugly monster, slowly raising the greatsword in his hand, preparing to attack.
However, at that moment, the three small jade-green dots in Qing Lin's pupils suddenly enlarged, transforming into three jade-green flowers, which then shot out fiercely.
Whoosh!!
In an instant, the three faint green flowers stopped beside the monster. In mere moments, the mysterious monster's eyes glazed over, its body stiffened as if petrified, completely losing consciousness.
"Young Master Xiao Tian, I feel so dizzy!"
At this moment, Qing Lin clutched her forehead, her pretty face pale, and let out a soft cry. Her whole body swayed, and she fell into Xiao Tian's arms.
"I… I seem to have established a mental connection with it. This monster probably won't attack us anymore!" Qing Lin said weakly, her head resting on Xiao Tian's chest.
Hearing Qing Lin's words, Xiao Tian's brow twitched.
He had seen the abnormality just now.
[Ding!]
[This is the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.]
[Among some descendants with Snake People bloodlines, a very small number of descendants are born with the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. Those with these pupils can use illusions against enemies, and these pupils have absolute suppression over snake-shaped magical beasts. They can forcibly establish a certain mental connection.]
Just then, the system in his mind suddenly blurted out a few sentences.
"So that's how it is!" Hearing these words, Xiao Tian instantly understood.
Then, seeing that the monster had fallen into a slumber, Xiao Tian hugged Qing Lin and continued to explore forward.
After about the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, a streak of seven-colored scales suddenly appeared in front of them.
This scale was multicolored, brilliant, and dazzling, like stars, beautiful and mesmerizing.
"System, what is this now?" Xiao Tian immediately asked in his mind.
[This is the Seven-Colored Snake Scale.]
"Seven-Colored Snake Scale… only the Medusa Queen of the Snake People Race in the Tagor Desert has it," Xiao Tian murmured to himself.
After putting away the Seven-Colored Snake Scale, Xiao Tian's gaze fell upon the Green Lotus beside him.
This Green Lotus looked somewhat peculiar and contained a mysterious energy. It was likely a rare treasure.
Without a word, Xiao Tian took out a jade shovel from the system space and then dug out the Green Lotus, roots and soil intact, storing it in the storage ring.
"Young Master Xiao Tian, I'm so sorry, I'm too tired. I don't think I can hold on anymore," Qing Lin suddenly said weakly.
Nodding slightly, Xiao Tian's gaze continued to sweep the surroundings for a moment, and he discovered more Green Lotuses, all of which he dug up, roots and leaves included.
Only when there was nothing left to take did Xiao Tian embrace Qing Lin and return the way they came.
But neither of them expected that not long after they returned to Stone Desert City, a charming figure appeared underground.
This figure was incredibly alluring, with a curvaceous body and peerless beauty, simply stunning.
She had a pair of radiant phoenix eyes like glazed glass and wore an elegant, colorful brocade dress that accentuated her perfect figure, making one's mouth water.
What was most captivating was her alluring, snow-white slender waist, and the peek of milky-white snow-like peaks, as if a masterpiece of creation, making one want to lick them.
This woman was none other than Queen Medusa of the Tagor Desert.
At this moment, Queen Medusa discovered that someone seemed to have been underground and had dug up all the Green Lotuses, not even leaving her the roots. Her phoenix eyes immediately flashed with a hint of rage.
Before long, she ordered most of the Snake People Race to conduct a thorough search of the Tagor Desert for the scoundrel who stole the Green Lotuses.
Xiao Tian was unaware that he had been completely put on the wanted list by the Snake People Race.
Originally, only he and Qing Lin knew about taking the Green Lotuses, but before long, a snake person under Medusa captured a mercenary from the Sand Mercenary Group. According to that mercenary, it was Xiao Tian who had killed their more than a dozen brothers and had also taken a girl into a tunnel near their Sand Mercenary Group.
One day, while fetching water at an oasis near Stone Desert City with several mercenaries from the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, Xiao Tian frowned, seemingly sensing something. His eyes immediately turned towards a graceful figure on the lake.
On the clear lake, a woman with a fiery figure was bathing. Her damp, dark hair fell to her chest, her fair body completely exposed. Water droplets flowed down her slender neck, passing over her tender, milky-white peaks, finally disappearing into the depths, making one's imagination run wild.
